Tutorial - Making a display case for a shopping mall

svlyn · September 2011

First off i have to thank YOTEAMO for her wonderful tutorial about clutter which can be found here: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/432167.page

It was brilliant!!!!

Here we go, so you made a shopping a mall and you got valuable stuff on display and you don't want to taken by shop lifters. How do you prevent this? You put in a safe display case. EA games only allows gems in cases so you will cry if you try place them in but there is way to put electronics, watches, cameras and other valuables in a case and i will show you:)

Start with a display case and colour it to whatever you like.

Then select a Rory's Display Pedistal and put it down beside the case.

Now, colour it to match the top of the case.

Now copy five of them.

Add you objects whatever you like, clocks, gaming systems, cameras etc..

Then move the first pedistal into place.

Move the rest.

The togel the glass cover and shoplifers are locked out

This is a great idea svlyn! I've used similar techniques with the kitchen window and placing plants.

If you don't mind, I'll add another suggestion. The insulator bay window makes a unique display window.

Look to the right of the above picture for example.

I think that is the correct name but can't get the store to let me look at it right now.

I'll try to do a step by step later but have to take kids to school now.

Very good tutorial, I usually use the pedestals to display stuff where I can - as I've already did in my WIP-mall!
Thanks for sharing!
